is it bad that my bunny is eating its towel?

[naturestee]

Baby bunnies will often test everything to see what's best to chew. Mocha did that and man, did she keep me running! I would take away any cloth just to be safe. I posted a bunch of toy ideas in the toy thread you bumped up- check there. As a note, don't give her anything that's been treated with dyes or stains unless it's food safe dyes on toys from a pet store. Everything else should be untreated.

Great advice! thanks! i was actually just wondering about dyes on stuff you see in pet shops!!!

"grass matts cost too much" I used to think the same thing, however we just purchased some for $2-3 a piece. The $3 matt is atleast 12 in long and she loves it. I would be more concerned about the buns consuming toxic printers ink from phone books or newspaper./images/emoticons/big_grin.gif baci

Rabbitgirls story about the blind bunny just about made me sick...Peewee likes to get in his towels and under them and sometimes pokes his head through a hole in the towel...I'd better be more cautious with that.

Do you mean like a grass or straw mat? Like this?
